Great news for Rachid Ghezzal and Olympique Lyonnais! The young winger has officially signed his first professional contract with the club, binding him until 2017. This move confirms OL’s ongoing commitment to nurturing homegrown talent, following in the footsteps of Corentin Tolisso and Nabil Fekir, who also recently signed pro deals.
Despite a challenging season due to injury, Ghezzal’s resilience has paid off. His comments reflect both his gratitude and determination:
“It’s a real pleasure to sign this professional contract with Olympique Lyonnais… After this year off, I’m looking forward to getting back on the pitch and showing what I can do.”
With technical ability, vision, and now renewed physical readiness, Ghezzal will be a player to watch in Lyon’s attacking setup. His development will be especially exciting given OL’s tradition of giving young talent real opportunities in Ligue 1.
